Remember back to a time when your partner's partner was having a bad game. It happens to all of us. Try to be patient and don't talk down. I had 4 8th grade games last Thursday. It was my partner's first time. I helped when I could, cussed under my breath when couldn't, and encouraged as much as possible. I left the court a little hump shouldered but hopefully my partner will grow into a good official.
